\frac{3x\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}-\frac{3\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x-1 and x+2 is \left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right). Multiply \frac{3x}{x-1} times \frac{x+2}{x+2}. Multiply \frac{3}{x+2} times \frac{x-1}{x-1}.
\frac{3x\left(x+2\right)-3\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Since \frac{3x\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)} and \frac{3\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{3x^{2}+6x-3x+3}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Do the multiplications in 3x\left(x+2\right)-3\left(x-1\right).
\frac{3x^{2}+3x+3}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Combine like terms in 3x^{2}+6x-3x+3.
\frac{3x^{2}+3x+3}{x^{2}+x-2}
Expand \left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right).
